Aerial Yoga Splits Tutorial

Aerial Yoga Splits Tutorial (Hanamanasana)

Aerial Yoga Splits are one of my favorite types of splits to do! They have transformed the way I look at doing hanamanasana and have allowed me to get much further than I ever did in my gymnastics days! I can get into over-splits which is something I have NEVER been able to do and most of my life, couldn’t even do splits. I grew up always cheerleading, but never had the flexibility I do now with the aerial yoga hammock!

Caution: Warm up your hips and hamstrings before attempting this move.

TIP: This form of split can only be done with 10.5 yds of silk.

-Start by taking a seat into the fabric like a trapeze.

-You will want to keep your arms behind the fabric when you are seated, to keep from falling forward.

-Put each foot into a handle. The fabric should cover the heel and the arch of the foot, with toes sticking out.

2 days agoby aerialyogagoddessWhen it feels like everything is not working out, its okay. Surrender it. What you have always done will not always continue to work. Begin to refine, look back into what your childhood dreams were. What dream did you let pass you by? It’s wild how we just forget some of our wild and crazy dreams. Zoom out. Look at the big picture. What dream seems impossible? What would give you that sense of I WOULD DO ANYTHING TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN? What are you SO CURIOUS about? A goddess with a dream refuses to be ignored. She embraces the…

3 days agoby aerialyogagoddessTravel is everything. The feeling of packing up and getting dressed for the next destination gives me this sense of adventure like nothing else in the entire world. Pulling up to the next temporary home gives me the same excitement i used to feel when i heard the ice cream truck. Sitting on the banks of the Pacific Ocean, knowing my home is RIGHT HERE, a place in my heart. Adventure is written into my DNA. To have taken this idea of video taping myself doing aerial yoga in every country in the world is fucking scary. I have my…
